EARLY MARRIAGE?IS IT OKAY?
When
talking about early marriage, people will have various perspectives on it. Some
of them will agree with this issue and the rest might disagree with it.
Therefore, there are small debates about this issue from the both parties like

Before
we talk further about early marriage, let us take a look at marriages
generally. A marriage is “a purposeful contract for obtaining and possessing
enjoyment” (Kharofa, 2004, p. 25). On the other hand, early marriage is a
marriage between man and woman at an early age. As a citizen, “we need to
understand the cultural- religious issues first to clear the misperception that
child marriage is supposedly sactioned by Islam” (Ahmad, 2013, p. 22). Early
marriage are already practice in this modern life. Based on the law in
Malaysia, “a female who has attained the age 16 years may be married by
authorization by license granted by the Chief Minister” (Pillai, 2009, p. 46).
Besides that, “in most coutries the proportion of girls aged 15- 19 who are
married is lower than the proportion of women aged 20- 24 who were married by
age 18” (UNICEF, 2005, p. 12).
